Artspace and the city of Waukegan are proud to announce the creation of Karcher Artspace Lofts, a mixed-use project in Waukegan, Illinois. This project will transform the historic Karcher Hotel in 36 economic space units for "live / work" for artists and their families. Some additional 2,400 square feet will be available on the ground floor for small businesses and nonprofit organizations complementary. As in many other cities in the country, this project will help foster an emerging artistic community while providing renewed vitality to the center. Construction began in November 2011, and is anticipated to be completed in November 2012. The "Karcher Building", as known in the National Register of Historic Places, is a landmark of Waukegan. The nine-story building on Washington Street that opened in 1928 was a hotel of 140 rooms. However, it has been empty since 1984. The 36 units will be converted into housing and studio space designed specifically for the needs of artists - with open floor plans, "gallery walls", ie without interruption gallery walls, and abundant natural light. The project will offer simple lines and endings exposed to the units give a look and feel of contemporary loft style.
